Probable Cause vs Reasonable Suspicion
Reasonable suspicion is less than PC. This does not give you the right to search and arrest the said person. However it does allow you to detain them and question them further to try to make your way into the PC.
Ex: You go to a narcotics call and don't see anyone handing anything off but see a strange man walking around with something in his pockets.
Probable Cause is what is needed to Search, Arrest, or apply a warrant. This must come from Hard Facts; this can not be a hunch. You must have evidence strong enough to show that said person has committed a crime, Plan on committing a crime or are committing a crime.
Ex: You go to a narcotics call and find someone there walking around passing stuff off to people and see the physical transaction.
Mirandarize
This is important because every citizen has their rights and we need to make sure that we are not breaking those rights in any way. So we must make sure if we are going to be asking any questions related to a crime we believe they are involved in and have not seen that you read them their rights. As well when they are under arrest you must read them their rights. Because if you don't do anything they say is admissible in court.
“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?
Scene Control
As an officer it is your job to make sure that everyone is safe when on a scene. That means using Cars, tape, road blocks and speed control. That way we can look after every person present like police, ems, citizens and the suspects. Making sure that we don't let random people just stand near you or the scene, or cars into the scene. Please make sure speed zone is set to ZERO anytime a detective or K9 is on scene.
Traffic Stops
This will be the most common thing you come across as a LEO and you will spend most of your time.
1. Put your lights on and let your siren off to pull them over
2. Get the vehicle to pull over to a safe location on the side of the road
3. Put your car behind theirs and put it on a angle sticking out onto the road of 15 degrees
4. Check the plate for any BOLO or if the owner has warrants
5. Call into dispatch letting them know that your in a traffic stop with (make, location, direction ,how many people in the vehicle)
6. Then hop out the car whilst keeping motor on and walk over to the door making sure not to walk between cars
7. Introduce yourself and start any small talk if you wish then ask for ID
8. Let them know why they are getting pulled over, After that walk back to your car and run their info.
9. If they have no warrants it is up to officer discretion if you want to warn or give a ticket
10. If they get a ticket, speak to them about it, say why and what and how much, then get them to sign the bottom of the ticket.
“Saying this is not admission of guilt just stating you have received this ticket”
11. Then tell them they are free to go when your lights are off
12. Hop in your car turn lights off and radio to dispatch saying its code 4
A high Risk Traffic stop is used when the owner or driver of the vehicle needs to be taken into custody. But is also seen as a threat at the same time. This does not mean you need to do a HRT because you need to arrest the driver. It is only if a person in the car may escape and become a threat to someone else in the community. This could also mean someone in the car is heavily armed and dangerous to everyone around them. This means that you MUST be extremely careful in these situations because they have the chance of life and death being the outcome. So you must make sure that you keep as much cover as possible when doing this for the whole scene for all LEOS.
Performing a High Risk Traffic Stop
1. Pull the vehicle over to the side of the road and keep inside the vehicle until you have at least 1 more unit there on scene with you.
2. Once they arrive you want to coordinate a diamond formation behind the suspects vehicle to help provide cover.
3. You and the other officers then coordinate when you will step out of your vehicle with firearms drawn pointed at the car, Telling him to step out of the vehicle with his hands up.
4. Then the person on the outside with the least amount of cover will then walk towards him with cuffs, whilst another officer keeps his weapon pointed at him in case he tries and pulls something.
5. Then you may continue this process with anyone else who may be in the car and detain them until it is clear to let them go and you are leaving
Robbery
1st person to arrive on scene is primary, unless the command deems it necessary or the cadet needs experience. On arrival you need to let dispatch know if the alarm is on and if any vehicles or people are out front. Primary usually takes over negotiations unless specified.
These are intense situations and it is important you don't make it more stressful. Speak to them calmly and only speak loud if they are far away and can't hear.
SWAT do not usually take primary unless believed to be shoot out or if it is a Alta bank, If they are on scene and breach is required they take over primary and it is their scene.
Negotiations
When doing negotiations it is important that we try to calm the situation down and help ease the tension. You must always make sure that you have signs of life before continuing. For every hostage they have they can have 2 demands. Tell them to keep guns on hostages, not officers and dont hurt hostages.
Ask questions for key info like:
1. How many of you are in there
2. How long is left
3. What are your demands
Make sure you relay all this info to dispatch keep everyone in the loop
If any harm caused to hostage demands of, BREACH
Pursuit
Pursuit can be a dangerous thing and must be taken with extreme care and caution.
That's why you must make sure you follow these rules.
1. If it is to dangerous call it off
2. If you hit a car or person you must stop and take care of them or (get someone else in the chace)
3. This does not mean you can drive crazy and all over the road
4. If you are the only unit on duty and there is more than 1 person in the car call it off your safety is priority
ROLES
Primary
This role you are in charge of the chase calling all the shots of what's going on, relaying all the information you gain from being up close. If you are the only unit attached you must do call outs.
Secondary
The Secondary Vehicle has the role of doing callouts of the location and anything that happens in the chase, As well as being next in line to take Primary if they have to break off to do any maintenance or check on someone.
Tertiary
Will be the last main role within the pursuit of doing whatever roles Primary needs to be taken care of Or taking over Primary or Secondary if they need to break off.
